Sigtryggr of Wicing

Sigtryggr of Wicing (849-) was a Viking sea king who led the Wicing band of Vikings during the late 9th century AD. In 880 AD, he sailed from Frisia with a large army of Norse raiders and landed at Maldon in Essex, taking the town from the Danes of East Engle; he sacked the city after its capture. Sigtryggr then pushed on to Chelmsford, which also suffered his wrath.
